LA Legislature Agrees Tony the Tiger Deserves Better

 

BATON ROUGE – The Louisiana Senate has refused to help a truck stop owner keep a tiger at his business.

Eighteen senators voted Monday for Sen. Rick Ward’s proposal to let Michael Sandlin hang onto his tiger. The bill needed 20 votes to pass.

Sandlin lost his license to keep the 550-pound Bengal tiger caged at his truck stop casino near Baton Rouge. He’s lost one court challenge, but has a second lawsuit pending over the issue.

Sen. J.P. Morrell, a Democrat from New Orleans, says the chain-link fence cage isn’t safe. He says the Legislature shouldn’t be meddling in the court case.

Thank you to everyone who wrote your lawmaker in Louisiana asking them to protect Tony the Tiger by killing the bill to circumvent the law.

    Tigers belong in the wild. This tiger should not be living at a truck stop. Ugh humans are so stupid.

    When I see those animals at truck stops in American movies, I thought it was just a movie thing, not that it really happened! People actually keep animals caged for showcasing them in these places?! That's ridiculous! Whoever enjoys that?! I mean, really, someone likes seeing them there?

    Those 18 supposed legislative types who voted in favor of letting this clown keep this tiger are true jackasses. Perhaps they should spend some time behind a chainlink enclosure in the heat of a La. summer just to experience what cruelty really is. They worry so much about what is cruel and unusual for convicts and killers, but don't give a tinkers damn about a creature that is on the endangered species list. Do a little research fellas and you'll learn that there are many more tigers in captivity than there are in the wild. Sadly, they're are likely to be extinct before your grandchildren are grown and having children of their own, and that is a real tragedy.

    What will happen to Tony now? If BCR can't take him, is there another sanctuary?
